So about three years ago I tried doing a series called “Happy Valley Rewind.” It was going to be a biweekly offseason article where I rewatched a Penn State game, and went through some different categories rehashing. Unfortunately for me, life got in the way of the series getting off the ground, so I only […]
The NFL Combine is set to get underway tomorrow and Penn State will have a large contingent — nine to be exact — of Nittany Lions in Indianapolis. While interviews and medical testing will be happening throughout the next few days, the on-the-field workouts are what fans will be watching. See below for when each […]
Gavin McKenna’s game-winning goal on Saturday made SportsCenter’s top 10. McKenna’s eight-point night on Friday was the highest single-game total in the NCAA in nearly 40 years. Women’s hockey moved up to No. 3 in the USCHO poll, their highest ranking ever. The women’s lacrosse team moved up in the polls again after extending their […]
Penn State’s men’s hockey team is gearing up for the post-season, fresh off back-to-back wins over Ohio State, one in overtime and another by a 7-goal margin. The women’s hockey team is playing just as well, top of their conference and in line for their own post-season run. How well Penn State’s hockey is doing […]
Honoring Seniors Despite its Olympus-Mons-sized success, this team is young: dang young. This year, senior trainers Sadie Belsky and Tylar Sanderson were honored alongside academic powerhouse Brian Borden, and PSU starters National Champion Levi Haines and now officially retired-from-injuries and All American Aaron Nagao. Haines reflected on his career afterward: It’s gone really quick . […]
Gavin McKenna’s overtime goal lifted No. 5 Penn State to a 5-4 overtime win over Ohio State on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions swept the regular season series from the Buckeyes after trailing 4-1 late in the second period. Penn State won with only 17 skaters and secured a valuable two points in the conference […]
The season of futility continues. The product on the field leaves a lot to be desired, and so will this recap. Call me when someone else is coaching the team. Player of the Game Someone I guess – however many points, assists, steals, blocks, whatever I’m sure they did great! Random Observations Wow they suck […]
What to Watch For Prediction Vibes are at an all-time low right now. Penn State has failed to build on the little momentum it gained in the win over Washington, and I don’t see the bleeding stopping Saturday afternoon. Nebraska 76, Penn State 59
Gavin McKenna set a new program record with eight points in No. 5 Penn State’s 11-4 romp over Ohio State on Friday night. The Nittany Lions pounced on Ohio State’s poor goaltending early and often and delivered their most decisive win of the season. Penn State’s 11 goals matched a program record set on November […]
No. 5 Penn State returns home for a key Big Ten series against Ohio State. The Nittany Lions are looking to snap an 0-3-1 skid that has effectively ended the team’s chances of winning the conference regular season title. Penn State swept the first series between these teams in Columbus on October 30 and 31. […]
Men’s Lacrosse (2-1) The men’s lacrosse team never trailed in a 13-7 demolition of No. 3 Princeton last Saturday. Penn State raced out to a 7-1 lead in the first quarter, with only Luke Walstrum scoring more than one goal. Eight different players scored a goal for Penn State, a testament to the depth being […]
When all is said and done, there may be few accolades left to say for this Penn State squad; one thing that CAN’T be said, is that the domination is over. That’s evidenced by the fact that it’s senior day for PSU wrestling, and yet only one of the ten starters will be honored. The […]
Penn State women’s hockey captain Tessa Janecke and the United States won the gold medal on Thursday with a 2-1 overtime win over Canada: Janecke had five assists in six games in the tournament and was on the ice for both goals in the gold medal game.

When Mike Rhoades was initially hired in March of 2023 (on my birthday, no less) it felt at the time like a quality hire, and one that Penn State would not have been able to make in years past. After all, here was a guy who had been successful at multiple stops, including at VCU, […]
In what was supposedly their best chance at earning another win for the remainder of the season, Penn State face-planted in epic fashion. A combination of lousy defense, poor ball security, and atrocious shooting allowed Rutgers to build an 11-0 lead, with the Nittany Lions not even getting on the scoreboard until Kayden Mingo nailed […]

A first look at Penn State’s new defensive scheme. The men’s lacrosse team upset Princeton on the road. Men’s hockey held at No. 6 in the USCHO poll, and women’s hockey stayed at No. 4. Despite its lofty record, Penn State hockey appears to have a ceiling this season. Penn State basketball is hoping for […]
Time to circle those calendars, Penn State football fans. The 2026 Blue-White game is officially set for Saturday, April 25. Well, the date is about the only thing that’s set in stone so far. This will, obviously, be the first spring game of the Matt Campbell era, so things may look a bit different. The […]
11 days ago, Matt Campbell’s inaugural staff was dealt a blow with wide receivers coach Noah Pauley making the move to the NFL and the Green Bay Packers. Penn State now has its Pauley replacement in Colorado State wide receivers coach Kashif Moore, according to a report from Matt Zenitz. Moore spent the last three […]
